I have a script which produces a file 'Detail.out'. I know that the script is completed whenever the file contains a certain number of lines (roughly 21025). So I find myself sitting at the command prompt running:
[me@somewhere myDir]$ wc -l */Detail.out 21025 A/Detail.out 21025 B/Detail.out 21025 C/Detail.out 12995 D/Detail.out 10652 E/Detail.out 3481 F/Detail.out 21027 G/Detail.out 21025 H/Detail.out 21025 I/Detail.out ... ...
tail -f to watch a specific file, but I'd like to follow the output of the
wc -l */Detail.out command shown above. Is this possible? I'm currently using
tcsh in Ubuntu 11.04 if that matters.
